The images from each of the four paintings were transferred to individual banners and together they tell the story of the eastern Whooping Crane re-introduction.

The banners celebrate the National Zoo's Whooping Crane Exhibit and are featured along the walkway at the entrance and exit of the exhibit. Above, the images are in story order representing: 1) Hatched with care, 2) Flying South, 3) Returning North, and 4) A New Spring.

Welcome to my Sketchbook!

A sketchbook is a journey into seeing, a place for your heart to come right out onto paper. Is it any wonder we shrink back and hesitate? But here’s one little-known artist's secret--all you have to do is show up, dig in, and get started. The rest will just happen! Sound like a bit of magic? It is. Bring along your sketchbook and join me. See what you discover!
